LUKE LITTLER sent a nine-word message to Beau Greaves after she spoiled his chances of winning two darts finals in one day.
Teen ace Littler, 18, went up against the multiple women’s world champ, 21, in the World Youth Championship semis on Monday.

Less than 24 hours earlier, Littler beat Luke Humphries in the World Grand Prix final to bank a £120,000 jackpot.
But the fan favourite was unable to go the extra mile this evening as he lost a thriller to Greaves by a score of 6-5.
She booked her place in the final against Gian van Veen with a stunning 84 finish.
And it marked the first time Greaves had got one over Littler, having lost their first clash on the PDC circuit in August’s ProTour.
But now, the pair could be set to face each other on a regular basis.
Greaves has finally qualified for a Tour Card, granting her the ability to turn professional and play in darts’ biggest events.
She could yet turn down the option to go pro and continue on the junior circuit.
But Greaves is likely to mix it with the big dogs in 2026.

And after losing to her, men’s world champ Littler sent Greaves a jokey message.
He said: “You best not to be taking that tour card!”
Littler later fired another message her way on Instagram Stories.
Heaping more praise on Greaves, he added: “I had two 10 dart legs, missed D12 for a nine and still couldn’t win.
“Fair play to Beau Greaves, all the best in Minehead, some talent.”
Littler isn’t the only star backing Greaves’ rise to stardom.
World No1 Humphries believes she is fully deserving of her seat at the top table.
And he hopes to be rubbing shoulders with her sooner rather than later.
Humphries said: “I think she’s an amazing player and she deserves it. I predict that she will flourish playing in it.
“She’s been a really great player on the secondary tours this year. She’s good on the challenge tour, the development tour, and she’ll be a real threat going forward for all the players.
“Not just for me but for everyone. I think she’ll do really well. If she’s relaxed and got no pressure on her shoulders, I believe she will be top 64 within the two years.”
